My 15 year old step daughter would beg to differ.
The language and conduct shown by members of this forum is an order of magnitude more cordial and respectful than that of her peer group and those considerably younger. She is privy to, and master of a lexicon of colourful vernacular the likes of which has never been posted on IIS. I think I can safely posit that she is not an outlier data point in the distribution curve either.
She would also put it to you (if she were even interested in engaging in a political discussion on an astronomy forum when there is 24 hours in a day where she could be on face book) that censoring debate on a crisis of existential magnitude is in fact more offensive than the occasionally inflamed passions expressed within it.
